My AC belt started whining.
I took the plastic under tray off to tightening it and found that the rear AC mount bolt was gone which caused the front bolt to shear off and the tensioning rod eyelet bolted to the AC compressor to snap off as well.
So I put in a new rear bolt and replaced the tensioning rod.
The front bolt sheared off halfway through the mount so there is no easy way to remove it. It is still all the way in the AC compressor housing and sticking halfway through the mount. With the rear bolt in place and the tensioning rod fixed, the whole compressor feels very solid. Am I risking it all coming apart by leaving that broken bolt where it is?
I finally got around to addressing the remaining rubbing on the drivers side rear. As you can see from the picture, I wasn't rubbing on the edge of the fender, I stretched that out of the way. It was the inner lip and the inner fender liner that were rubbing. I went back to my old ways of dealing with this. I took a big hammer to it.(I had to go buy a new one as I lost my old one. I have no idea how I lost a 5 lb hammer. It's not like it's some tiny thing that can get lost in a drawer. )
The area marked in red is now about 3/4 to 1 inch further away from the edge/side of the tire and I get no more rubbing(and I tried pretty hard to get it to rub)
